SoundStation IP 6000 lan port inactive

Forgive me if this is a repeat -- I could not find my previous post so I am thinking it did not post properly. I also could not find anything useful with a search of the Community.

I have a new SoundStation IP 6000 -- it does not seem to be able to get IP info from DHCP and says that the LAN port is inactive. No link lights show on the switch or router (tried both) and the IP 6000. I have 2 SoundStation IP 5000(s) that work if I hook up the same way using same cables, etc. (LAN ports active -- gets IP addresses, etc.).

I am using RingCentral (I have worked with their support on this but no luck). I am thinking it might be a bad unit but I thought I would check here before I give up.

Re: SoundStation IP 6000 lan port inactive

INGRAM MICRO sold this unit back in 24/07/2017 so chances are this is still in warranty for you as the time between us selling it to Ingram and you purchasing from the other reseller usually gives a 3 months grace period.

I suggest you check with Ingram as they are your Tier 1 support and most likely need to RMA the unit after the usual factory reset etc.

Is this a brand new SSIP6000?

Re: SoundStation IP 6000 lan port inactive

First, I want to apologize. I should have checked the guidlines. I understand the need to get as much info as possible. In a fit of frustration, I sent what I did. I have continued to research this and also worked with RingCentral who sells SoundStation IP 6000..

I hope the below is useful in helping me understand where I am coming from -- I also included a pic of the bottom of the unit. This is one of two units acting the same way so i am leaning towards settings or some mode.

Phone mode: Polycom SoundStation IP6000

Call Platform: RingCentral

Assembly: 3111-15600-001 Rev. W.

S/N: 0004f207fd1e

P/N: 2201:-15600-001

Label: SIP

Version: 4.0.8.1972

I do not understand what is meant by additional Polycom infrastructure.

The unit(s) does not get an IP from DHCP settings or if i set the IP settings statically. Probably has to do with the LAN port inactive message I get. I cannot get a copy of a backup or a log.

I did not buy these units -- they were purchased from Staples by someone that did not really understand what they were doing -- they do not have the receipt, etc. So I am operating a little blind. I have the impression that these were new units. As I was working on this unit, I got the impression that it might have some RingCentral config or something.

Essentially, I cannot get the unit to get an IP from DHCP or nothing happens if I set an IP address, etc. (I am not sure how a 'locked' device would act but that has crossed my mind.)

I have connected to switches and directly to router. Used POE injector and POE switch. I also did a factory reset. The LAN port remains inactive and I cannot get an IP. When I connect to the switch or router it does not show as an active device. Any thoughts, pointers or information I can provide?
